PGMA Girl Scouts

As salaamu alaikum,

The next regularly scheduled troop meeting will be tomorrow, Friday, April 13, 2018, 6 – 8PM, inshaAllah. Please be timely. Arrivals after 6:15PM are disruptive to troop meetings and strongly discouraged.

DAISIES

• Daisies will continue working on their STEM: Think Like An Engineer Journey!  Please dress them in play clothes since they will be conducting fun, but messy experiments.
• Turn in permission forms and payments for the Daisy Flower Garden Journey at Chesapeake Children’s Museum on April 21.

BROWNIES

• Brownies will work on their Senses badge and do yoga again. Girls should bring a yoga mat and water bottle, and dress in active attire so that they are able to move comfortably. Please bring extra yoga mats to share, if you have them.
• Parents: please turn in permission forms, waivers and payments for upcoming events.

JUNIORS

• Juniors will begin their Programming Robots badge. Robots are simple machines made of many different parts that are programmed to run automatically. Programmers are the engineers that create step-by-step instructions, or algorithms, that tell robots how to understand and respond to their environment. We’ll start by engineering a simple machine that helps a robot to land then learn about the robot brain. After, Juniors will create programs for their friends to make images using tangrams and complete an obstacle course before coding on a device.
  1. Learn how robots work
  2. Discover the robot brain
  3. Learn about programming
  4. Try simple programming
  5. Code a robot

  When Juniors have earned this badge, they will know how robots receive instructions in a way similar to the human brain. They will be able to create simple programs that could be run by a robot.

MULTIPLE LEVELS

• All Summer in Savannah participants must attend a planning meeting immediately after the troop meeting this Friday, April 13. Second deposits of $175 are due at this meeting.

PARENTS

• Parents should see Snack Mom, Sis. Marnice, during the troop meeting to sign up to bring healthy snacks for upcoming troop meetings inshaAllah.
